Poverty Has a Rich Side,Too...

For those being born wealthy, there's something missing to make them complete; vast fortunes don't make them fully competitive, or eagerly inventive, because comfort has already bee given to them... Realize that poverty has a rich side,too; the kindness of friends to share in every smile, those helping hands to give what they can, and warm arms embracing: to gather your strength when you have none! I desire nothing besides being strong and trusting anyone who's true, to overcome all hurdles and reject pride, opposing temptation and unsound advice; and who can really know me...better than I? Gamblers and losers will tell you otherwise, " Squander your money for a chance at being super-rich!" And will luck open its gates to let abundance flow? You have bashfully peaked across the only side of the good life, but not a glance of compassion was given to begin with, because a diamond is more vain than a stone! Shelter from cold is home to vagrants with improper attire, prayers can help one find purpose...not to face life alone! Copyright 2009 by Andrew Crisci

Much to think about here, thoughtfully expressed and well penned. ..I don't have the really good friends or money. But I am blessed for I do have my family and most importantly I have Jesus and I know that I am loved .Jesus has done amazing things in my life and he is not done , so many more good things are yet to come..Good Job here,.... God Bless*Tyesha
